You must pay great attention to sociology. Get the best books on the subject that you can and read them thoroughly. Find out the social relationship among other races so [t]hat you may know how to advise your people in their social behaviour. Never admit that the Negro is more immoral than the white man but try to prove to the contrary. Socially the white man has debauched and debased all other races because of his dominant power. He is responsible for more illegitimacy among races than any other race. He has left bastard children everywhere he has been, therefore, he is not competent to say that he is socially and morally purer than any other race. - Marcus Garvey

Britain's government has decided to take control of Libyan oil facilities as British Petroleum announced plans to resume operations in oil-rich North African country.
As Libyan opposition fighters take control of more and more areas in the capital Tripoli, the world's superpowers are trying to gain hegemony over the African country by securing lucrative contracts under the pretext of rebuilding Libya so that the country's economy would become dependent upon hegemonic powers.
Before the beginning of revolution in Libya in February, the oil-rich country produced around 1.6 million barrels per day. Libya was the seventeenth-largest oil producer in the world and the third largest in Africa.
After six months of war, however, the country's oil output has been reduced to just 100,000 barrels per day.
As experts predict that the North African country's oil output could reach 1 million barrels per day within a few months, British Petroleum, has announced plans to return to Libya as “soon as conditions allow.”
Meanwhile, a spokesman for UK Trade & Investment which is a part of Department of Business, announced that the British government plans to secure a major share in Libya's market seeking to win profitable contracts.
“We are in regular contact with companies and organizations who have business interests in Libya and have been throughout the conflict. As soon as the situation on the ground allows, UKTI has plans to provide in-country support and advice to companies wishing to be part of the reconstruction effort,” he said.
Moreover, Director Government Support at Control Risks Chris Sanderson, an international risk consultancy and security management company, said that there is an unprecedented “opportunity for UK business to seek to recover commercially some measure of the UK's significant diplomatic and military investment.”
He explained that there are opportunities for the British businesses on three grounds. First, Libya's need to rebuild infrastructure provides British companies with numerous profitable contracts. Second, British business can operate in fields like “health, education and civil security.” Finally, British companies can exploit Libya's oil and gas sectors as well as “commercial support services such as banking, finance and telecommunications.”
And i thought Britain was sending all the weapons and SAS for humanitarian reasons! Never would i thought it was for OIL!
Organization is impossible unless those who know the laws of harmony lay the foundation. - Motherland Proverb
Our newest theme surrounds natural resources in Africa. Despite being described as “the richest continent” in reference to its natural resource wealth, Africa remains the poorest continent. How have natural resources played a role in African development, or how have they hindered it? What natural resources are exploited and by whom are they exploited? This theme allows for an exploration of economic development in Africa, labor force composition, foreign investment in Africa, private sector exploitation, the diversity between African states, the potential for natural resources to promote growth and the African relationship to the environment. This theme also comes at an appropriate time, as water has become headlining news on Africa in the last week.
Natural resources are often taken for granted in parts of the world where they are easily accessible, but what about the parts of the world from which they are extracted? And what of those resources, such as water, which are beyond man’s control? Articles submitted will aim to address some of the questions surrounding natural resources in Africa in the present, past and future.
The Virgin of Montserrat is a statue of the Virgin Mary and infant Christ venerated at the Santa Maria de Montserrat monastery in the Montserrat mountain in Catalonia. It is one of the black Madonnas of Europe, hence its familiar Catalan name, la Moreneta ("The little dark-skinned one").
The Black Madonna in the Novel
... The South was fertile ground for my fiction, but the novel was also affected by my spiritual and psychological pursuits and study. I did'n’t set out to put a black Virgin Mary in my novel; it just happened.
For a lot of years, I explored archetypal feminine images and stories from different cultures and religions, and particularly what happens to women when connections with these images are missing or devalued. One thing that became clear to me is that images of a divine mother are surprisingly important in the psychological wholeness of women, especially in the process of women taking up residence in their own authority. It was through this study that I became intrigued with the ways that Mary has quietly, even subversively, functioned as the feminine dimension of God in much of western religion. I read an essay by author Kathleen Norris in which she made the amazing statement that Mary is particularly suited to post-modernism. She didn’t elaborate on the reason, but my guess is that Mary, fresh with feminist appropriations, has the potential to undergird women’s reformations.
As I began the novel, I wanted the driving impetus in Lily’s life to be the search for home and for her mother. But clearly in the back of mind, I knew there was a less tangible, more symbolic search for home and mother that needed to take place: a coming home to herself and the discovery of the mother within. I knew Lily would have to find an undreamed of strength, and that she would do it the same way the powerful black women around her did it – through the empowerment of a divine feminine presence, in this case a Black Mary.
I felt that any image of Mary in the novel would have to be black. Not only because the women who revered her were black, but because historically Black Madonnas have often been at the root of insurgence. I first became aware of the Black Madonna in my late thirties through the writings of Jungian analyst, Marion Woodman. It was a revelation to me that hundreds of very old Black Madonnas exist in Europe and elsewhere, and that their darkness is a legacy of ancient black goddesses. I think of the Black Madonna as the White Madonna before the church scrubbed the really interesting stuff out of her. I began to study the Black Madonna, and to travel to her pilgrimage sites, especially in France. I discovered that many of her stories and history reveal a Mary who is openly defiant in the face of oppression. In Poland, South and Central America, and other places, she has been a symbol of revolution. I decided I would create a Black Madonna for the novel, who had existed during slavery in the South, and that she would be a symbol of freedom and consolation.
Action, self-reliance, the vision of self and the future have been the only means by which the oppressed have seen and realised the light of their own freedom. - Marcus Garvey
There's different between Black Feminism and the Negropean Feminist...
... Here's the different;
1. Afrikan/Black Feminist... She stand up on her feet to protect black culture/traditional ways of living... They up to good... Their mission is to built black love, families, societies and e.t.c.
2. The Negropean Feminist she's might be Afrikan/Black but she's Black Face in White Mind Feminist... She never stand on her feet to fight her master... She only stand by her master side to destroy Afrikan/Black love, families, societies and e.t.c.
You're the one that the book [Bible] is talking about who is dead : dead to the kno wledge of yourself, dead to the knowledge of your own people, dead to the knowledge of your own God, dead to the knowledge of the devil. Why, you don't even know who the devil is . You think the devil is someone inside the ground that's going to burn you after you're dead. The devil is right here on top of this earth. He's got blue eyes, brown hair, whit e skin, and he's giving you hell every day. And you're too dead to see it. - Malcolm X,"Unity Rally" speech, Harlem, 10 Aug. 1963
“In today’s world, companies spend hundreds of millions, if not billions to establish, promote and protect their brands-Nike shoes, McDonald’s hamburgers , Apple computers, Starbucks coffee, United Airlines, Ivory soap,. However one of the first high-value brands in America was not an inanimate product. It was humans. African Americans ... were turned into animate products: slaves. And the brand that the early ruling class literally and figuratively burned onto black Americans as they did with livestock, was the permanent identifier of ‘subhuman inferiority’”. - Tom Burrell, Brainwashed Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority
Even though the State of Florida has charged George Zimmerman with second-degree murder, the Feds may still charge him with a federal hate crime. If found guilty, 28-year-old Zimmerman could be face the death penalty. STORY: FBI Seeks To Charge George Zimmerman With Hate Crime
FBI officials confirmed to ABC News that the investigation is still ongoing, as they continue to question witnesses in Sanford, Florida, but say the “hammer won’t be dropped” anytime soon.
Zimmerman admitted to killing Trayvon on the night of February 26th in an act of self-defense. Zimmerman is currently facing a second-degree murder charge, which carries a maximum possible sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
But if Zimmerman is charged and found guilty of a federal hate crime involving murder, he could face the death penalty.
The FBI will have to prove that Zimmerman acted out of hatred toward Trayvon because he was black and that’s why he came into contact with him and why he shot and killed him.
Federal hate crime charges are crimes involving kidnapping, sexual assault or murder, and can be punishable by life in prison or the death penalty.

Robin Gibb, one-third of the Bee Gees, died Sunday after a long battle with cancer, his spokesperson has confirmed via a statement. Gibb was 62 years old.
"The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sadness that Robin passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery," reads the statement. "The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time." Bing:Watch classic Bee Gees videos
Two years ago, Gibb battled colon and liver cancer, but despite making what he called a "spectacular recovery," a secondary tumor recently developed, complicated by a case of pneumonia.
Gibb was born in Manchester, England, in 1949, along with twin brother Maurice. (Maurice died in 2003 of complications from a twisted intestine; eerily, Robin had surgery for the same medical issue in 2010.) Along with their older brother Barry, the brothers began harmonizing as a trio in Australia, where the family moved in 1958. Although the Bee Gees had some success in Australia -- they hosted a weekly variety show there -- they didn't truly arrive until they returned to England and signed with manager Robert Stigwood. Robin's quivering, vulnerable voice was featured prominently on several of the group's earliest and most Beatles-esque hits, including "New York Mining Disaster 1941," "I Started a Joke," "Massachusetts," and "I've Gotta Get a Message to You."
Although he looked and sounded like the meekest Bee Gee, Robin grew into the family rebel. By 1969, he and Barry were feuding over whose song should be singles, and Robin, then 20, was declared a "ward of the state" by their father when his drinking and partying seemed to take over his life. "It happened so fast that we lost communication between us," Gibb later recalled. "It was just madness, really."
But it was also Robin who, in 1971, made the first call to Barry to reunite with his brothers. Robin's solo career had stalled, and Barry and Maurice's attempts to continue as the Bee Gees as a duo had floundered as well. "If we hadn't been related, we would probably have never gotten back together," Robin said at the time. Robin's voice was heard, beautifully, on the chorus of their minor 1972 hit "Run to Me."

The Bee Gees' massive second wind arrived with their proto disco hit, "Jive Talkin'," in 1975; two years later, their contributions to "Saturday Night Fever" made them bigger stars than ever. Most of the hits from that era featured Barry's falsetto voice, but the brothers' vocal blend remained an indelible apart of their sound.
The group entered another fallow period during the early '80s, although during this time, Robin produced a semi-hit album by Jimmy Ruffin, brother of the Temptations' David Ruffin. The last Bee Gees album, "This Is Where I Came In," was released in 2001. Two years later, Maurice died, and with his passing the Bee Gees ended. (Their other younger brother, Andy, died in 1988.)
Robin and Barry reunited periodically -- in 2010, they made an appearance on "American Idol" and inducted ABBA into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- and talked about a duo tour, but nothing materialized. Robin, though, kept his hand in music. With his son Robin-John, he wrote an ambitious piece, "The Titanic Requiem," a mix of orchestral and vocal pieces telling the story of the doomed liner on the 100th anniversary of its sinking. "It's a serious subject and it's not a rock opera," Gibb said before its debut. "There are no backbeats. This could have been written 300 years ago."
Featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the work had its world premiere in London on April 10. But in a sign that Gibb's health had taken a turn for the worse, he wasn't able to attend. Ironically, next week's episode of "Glee" will include covers of Bee Gees songs from "Saturday Night Fever."
